What the service includes

An extensive databank. Comparable analysis for 300 cities spanning 80 countries, providing market detail for departures and arrivals, including origin-destination visits, and nights. Detail is provided for both inbound and outbound travel across all cities along with headline economic indicators.

In-depth historical data and forecasts, and regular updates. Data starts in 2000 and is forecast ten years into the future based on the Oxford Economics economic outlook—the most widely used global economic model in the world. The database is updated every six months.

Advanced analytical functions. Our web-based databank allows users to quickly build custom queries with complete flexibility and visualise the data in tables, charts, and maps. Numbers may be represented as absolutes, percentages, and even differences between time periods. All data are annotated by source, date of update, and analyst. Searches can be saved for future reference and downloaded quickly to Excel and Adobe formats, and even shown on a heat map.

Robust methodology. The databank is based on vast, complementary data sets covering air passenger flows, hotel room demand, economic, and demographic data by city. Estimates are based on a combination of destination measurements, origin-destination air passenger demand, hotel statistics, and industry metrics.
